HYMN  FOR  EQUAL  SUFFRAGE  * 


By  Percy  MacKaye 

They  have  strewn  the  burning  hearths  of  Man  with  darkness 
and  with  mire, 

They  have  heaped  the  burning  hearts  of  Man  with  ashes  of 
desire, 

Yet  from  out  those  hearts  and  hearths  still  leaps  the  quick 
eternal  fire 

Whose  ftame  is  liberty. 

But  the  flame  which  once  led  deathward  all  the  dazzled  fight- 
ing hordes 

Lights  them  now  to  living  freedom  from  the  bondage  of  their 
lords,' 

And  our  mothers  are  uprisen  ’mid  their  sons  to  wrest  the 
swords 

From  hands  of  tyranny. 

For  the  freedom  of  the  laborer  is  freedom  from  his  toil, 

And  freedom  of  the  citizen  is  right  to  share  the  soil, 

And  the  freedom  of  our  country  is  our  loosing  of  the  coil 
That  chokes  posterity. 

So  we  who  wage  our  devious  wars,  in  fastness  and  in  fen, 

Let  us  claim  our  common  birthright  in  the  living  sun  again, 
Till  the  battle  of  the  beasts  becomes  the  reasoning  of  men, 

And  joy  our  destiny. 

Let  us  march  then,  all  together,  not  because  our  leaders  call, 
But  at  summons  of  the  mighty  soul  of  man  within  us  all, 

Men  and  women,  equal  comrades,  let  us  storm  the  nation’s  wall 
And  cry  “Equality!” 

For  the  vote  that  brings  to  woman  and  to  man  life’s  common 
bread, 

Is  mightier  than  the  mindless  gun  that  leaves  a million  dead ; 
And  the  rights  of  Man  shall  triumph  where  once  men  and 
women  bled 

When  mothers  of  men  are  free.

INTRODUCTORY  NOTE 


The  undaunted  suffragist  who  emerges  from  a 
campaign  that  has  deferred  but  not  defeated  her  cause 
invariably  feels  that  she  might  have  carried  her  district 
or  her  town  if  she  had  only  been  better  prepared  for 
her  work.  She  has  the  conviction  that  the  larger  suc- 
cess of  the  woman  suffrage  issue  will  be  directly  due 
to  broader  suffrage  education,  not  only  for  herself  but 
for  the  whole  woman  population  that  must  be  trained 
up  to  citizenship. 

It  is  for  suffragists  of ' experience,  therefore,  no  less 
than  for  many  who  are  facing  or  hoping  soon  to  face 
state  campaigns  for  the  first  time  that  this  study  out- 
line has  been  prepared.  Its  scope,  from  Rlato  to  the 
present,  offers  the  breadth  of  view  necessary  not  only 
for  a good  perspective  but  also  for  deep  appreciation  of 
the  meaning  of  the  subject. 

The  bibliography,  while  not  exhaustive,  aims  to 
include  the  freshest  and  most  illuminating  material 
available.  It  is  an  almost  exasperating  fact  that  many 
remarkable  utterances  on  subjects  listed  here  have 
never  got  into  print.  A long  list  of  valuable  round 
table  subjects  readily  suggests  itself  to  experienced 
suffragists,  but  articles  upon  these  subjects  have  not 
found  their  way  into  magazines.  In  this  connection 
might  be  mentioned  the  fact  that  the  model  suffrage 
'speech  has  yet  to  be  written.  There  are  many  excellent 
speeches,  model  in  some  respects ; but  it  is  difficult  to 
find  one  which  meets  the  requirements  of  technic  as  well 
’as  substance.  The  explanation  for  the  lack  is  to  be 


;

INTRODUCTORY  NOTE 


found  in  the  fact  that  suffrage  propagandists  have  been 
too  busy  making  speeches  to  stop  to  write  them. 
Extending  and  formulating  suffrage  literature  will  be 
the  task  of  the  next  decade. 

If,  then,  the  references  for  some  of  the  topics  are 
rather  meager,  let  it  be  understood  that  the  lack  is  due 
to  the  dearth  of  material.  Perhaps  the  paucity  will 
spur  some  clever  suffrage  students  on  to  make  up  for 
the  deficiency. 

There  have  been  included  under  the  first  topic, 
“Some  early  ideas  on  sex  equality,”  also  under  other 
topics  thruout  the  outline  a few  books  that  will  oe 
hard  to  secure.  They  are  listed  for  readers  who  have 
access  to  large  libraries.  Others  will  find  it  possible  to 
arrange  the  reading  without  these  books,  omitting,  if 
necessary,  the  first  topic. 

The  material  listed  under  the  first  division  of  “The 
suffrage  speech”  is  wholly  composed  of  leaflets,  sold 
by  the  dozen  or  the  hundred,  whose  subject  matter  is 
so  obvious  from  the  titles  that  no  mention  has  been 
made  of  them  in  the  annotated  bibliography. 

Credit  is  due  Miss  Margaret  Ladd  Franklin  for  the 
bibliography  made  use  of  for  “Some  early  ideas  on 
sex  equality.”

TRAINING  THE  PUBLIC  WORKER  FOR 
PUBLIC  SPEAKING 


Statement:  Suffrage  schools  have  been  held  in  the 
large  suffrage  centers  where  men  and  women,  desirous 
of  equipping  themselves  for  public  speaking,  assemble 
not  only  to  study  suffrage  arguments,  tactics,  human 
psychology  and  its  relation  to  attracting  and  holding 
audiences  but  also  to  prepare  for  delivery  through  tech- 
nical training  in  voice,  attitude  and  gesture.  This 
department  of  present  day  suffrage  activity  is  vastly 
important  because  there  has  not  been  a town  in  any 
campaign  state  so  far  that  has  had  enough  speakers  for 
local  work.  In  all  further  effective  campaign  efforts  it 
will  be  absolutely  necessary  to  train  up  local  women 
for  platform  speaking.  The  work  outlined  in  the  pro- 
gram to  this  point,  if  it  has  been  carried  on  with 
thoroughness,  has  furnished  a broad  suffrage  view. 
Now  the  aim  is  to  focus  upon  the  special  material  out 
of  which  suffrage  speeches  are  fashioned ; viz.,  argu- 
ments. In  program  IV  the  subject  of  arguments  was 
considered  in  a broad  way.  The  bibliography  inserted 
at  this  point  refers  the  prospective  speaker  to  specific 
considerations  and  to  specific  handling  of  them.

This  speech  is  included  in  the  text  of  Bjorkman  and  Por-

to-day  are  failing  to  discharge  their  own  household  duties 
probably  because  they  do  not  understand  that  as  society  grows 
more  complicated  it  is  necessary  that  women  shall  become 
responsible  for  many  things  outside  their  home.

OUTLINES  BASED  ON  THE  QUESTION  METHOD. 


Note:  There  has  been  difference  of  opinion  among  those  interested  in 
the  Study  Outline  Series  as  to  the  relative  advantage  of  two  methods  of 
presenting  the  outline:  the  topical  method  which  assumes  that  the  topics 
given  in  the  program  will  be  assigned  to  different  members,  or  the  ques- 
tion method  which  assumes  that  all  members  of  the  club  will  work  in 
unison  and  all  be  prepared  to  discuss  the  questions  given  for  the  meeting. 
The  topical  method  calls  for  a more  or  less  lengthy  bibliography,  while 
the  question  method  uses  a small  number  of  books  which  each  member 
should  own.  These  required  books  may  be  supplemented  by  a collateral 
reading  list.  In  the  list  given  above,  South  America,  Municipal  Civics,  and 
The  Slav  Peoples  illustrate  the  topical  method;  those  listed  below  illustrate 
the  question  method.
